A few nights before, Shi Qingxuan had gone to see Hua Cheng at Paradise Manor; he was making plans about Ghost City's extra volume of visitors due to the theatre play. Without Yin Yu, he had other subordinates around, keeping them under close supervision. Xie Lian was there too. Shi Qingxuan had brought the play's programme to show them.

THE PLAY
The Emperor is dead. The prince Ro Meo suspects he was murdered by Shushu, his uncle, instigated by his wife Lady Shushu in order to seize the throne. The royal blood on his hands can never be washed away! In the meantime, Ro Meo's in love with Ju Liet, but they can never be: The Ro and the Ju clans are sworn enemies. The star-crossed lovers seek the help of The Weird Jiejies, demonic cultivators. A play within a play, power struggle, forbidden love; everyone is dragged into the realms of madness and death. With blood, and then, more blood.

"Lord Wind Master, it looks great! But", Xie Lian said, "Why 'The Play'? Why not putting the play's name, I thought it was good!"
Shi Qingxuan smiled, and replied, "Your Highness, you wouldn't know that, but this play's name is cursed! We can't say it, we have to call it 'The Play'".
"Since when?", Hua Cheng asked, frowning.
Shi Qingxuan gave a little laughter and winked, "You know, theatre lore. It's good for business".
Xie Lian only widened his eyes, but Hua Cheng nodded in approval, "Gege, I do think all Heaven Officials are useless trash. However, this one is an exception".
Shi Qingxuan opened his fan, saying smugly, "Hua Chengzhu, Your Highness. I'm touched".
